There was a definitely a disconnect with her shooting compared to the rest of her game. I have never seen someone looks so solid and amazing in their game and miss so badly at times. But if I'm being honest, if my teammate is shooting only 25% from the field, I would be hesitant of them as well especially if the goal is a national title.
I think Cardoso stays. She wants to be a top 5 draft pick and she’s not there yet. I think you bring in 3-4 in 2023, and probably hit the portal for 1-2.
@TC22, I too chuckled hard at Saniya’s statement about her teammates not wanting her to shoot. But, I just look at it as the words of a young talented over-confident player, who didn’t understand all the intricate areas of the WCBB game. However, she has won a championship with the nation’s #1 team, is a year older, and has now joined another team. I’m hoping that she’ll Grow up a little bit, use all her talents and lead her new team to a national championship. Nothing but best wishes to her.
I think Cooper is a better shooter and she is good athlete. However, Rivers is an elite athlete. I will miss seeing her glide up and down the court. In the end I think Cooper will be just as good if not better than Rivers.
As far as Cardosa, I hope you are right. She might take that step this season, which is why I am not sure about her coming back. It would be nice to get Del Rosario for insurance. I feel confident we will land her for some reason. She knows she will get develop here and will be a focal point. My wish list is Fulwiley, Del Rosario, Kitts, and Williams. I know people think Williams is a long shot. However, they thought the same thing about Boston. If coach Law is on her, it will not surprise me if we land her as well.
Personally for 23’ I would like to see us land Fulwiley, Watkins(we are actually recruiting her very hard for a west coast girl), and any of Kitts/Booker/Prosper.
I agree with all you said except the leading her new team to a national championship.
). I pretty have concentrated more on recruits from the east and Midwest.
Lol we have the same exact wish list.
My only Ju Ju Watkins hmm moment is that Sierra Canyon is a manufactured program like IMG. Sometimes talent there is overestimated given the weakness in competition. However, EYBL AAU is a great indicator of talent. Would love to see her play over here in the east this year in EYBL action.Same for me as well, however I REALLY like Watkins. I would be fine if we got Williams but in watching Watkins frequently I get goose bumps every time. 6-2, long, incredible handles, extremely high motor on both ends, and a shot maker from everywhere. She has obliterated the EYBL circuit so far and I like our chances because I’m hearing she’s not exactly set on staying West. She wants to be seen in prime time action on the big stage and in front of larger crowds. Who does that sound like?
Destiny Littleton is from California btwI hope this second NC leads to recruits from west of the Mississippi committing to come to USC. I had to familiarize with the Williams and Watkins names you were mentioning b/c I pretty much pay little mind to recruits from the SW and pacific parts of the country since Dawn hasn’t had success yet getting those top HS recruits to come here (Betts being the last one I payed attention to and of course,
Yes, and the Gamecocks recruited her but she initially chose to stay close to home, finally getting her on the third try. Getting them on the transfer market is nice - better late than never, but I’m talking about high school commitments.
Getting Watkins from off the West Coast would be a boom heard across WBB. If two national titles in 5 years doesn’t convince you that SC is legit, pulling one of the best prospects out of Cali in recent years will definitely do it.
